UnicodeCompletion allows users to insert unicodes and perform the unicode lookups and conversions.
To enable UnicodeCompletion check the item Unicode Completion Enabled in the
Edit menu. Alternatively, it can be toggled via Command Palette: Unicode Completion: Toggle.
If you want to enable it for a specific syntax, edit the specific syntax settings file and
add "unicode_completion" : true.
UnicodeCompletion's tab completion feature was ported to Julia, so Julia users should be able to use it without enabling UnicodeCompletion.
The list of unicodes is generated from Julia, see latex_symbols.jl and emoji_symbols.jl. Check Julia Docs for the complete list of supported Unicodes.
Type \alpha and hit enter/tab to insert the corresponding unicode α to Sublime Text. Similar procedure applies to other latex symbols.
Type \:beer: and hit enter/tab to insert the corresponding unicode 🍺 to Sublime Text.
It is known that Sublime Text autocompletion pop up window does not show 👍 (\:+1:) and superscriptions (e.g., \^2) correctly, to insert them, they have to be typed and followed by a tab.
There are two conversion commands Convert Selection to Unicodes and Convert Selection from Unicodes. To use the conversion, just select the text which you would like to convert, and run the command.
It also provides commands Unicode Lookup and Unicode Reverse Lookup (can be found in Command Palette) to lookup the unicodes or the corresponding input of the unicodes under the cursor or the selection. If no unicode is detected, a full list of unicodes will be shown.
